I have a Taranis X9D plus transmitter and have no idea on how to set it up to arm my quadcopter. I've searched for days and I'm not getting anything that a beginner would comprehend. I'm using or trying to use Cleanflight.
Thanks to anyone that can help me.
 
Contact Mike H. on the forum. He is a huge fan of the Taranis radios. He should be able to answer any questions you have.

I actually use a switch in cleanflight to arm and disarm my naze32.

Do you know how to assign a specific channel to a switch on the radio?
1. Menu
2. hit +/- to highlight the model to set this up for, and then long press ENT to select the model
3. Page, page, page, page (4 times) which brings you to the Inputs screen
4. Choose your channel that you want to use for arming and disarming, and hit ENT
5. Name it ARM or something similar
6. Down, down to get to Source.
7. Now toggle the switch you want to assign the channel to(the switch you want to use for arming and disarming)

Cleanflight
8. Open Cleanflight, pick the modes tab, and pick the channel to use for arm. Flip your assigned switch and it should move the slider once you have it enabled and assigned to the channel you decided on.

I am going to go do a few flights before it gets dark, but this should get you pointed in the right direction.

Good luck!

Ok, I managed to add switch SG to my 5th channel. When I go to Cleanflight it doesn't recognize it in either the modes tab or receiver tab.
Thanks so much for your help!

Are you setup for ppm, and is it turned on in Cleanflight?

I have a Dragonfly32 compact with all the wire harnesses, which I regret buying. I have my receiver hooked to the receiver harness and my motors plugged into pins. When I go to clean flight it recognizes my two sticks and I can control the motors through cleanflight.

Go to the cli and type #map in CleanFlight.

Here is my mapping: Current assignment: TAER1234

What it means: Throttle, Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, Aux1, Aux2, Aux3, Aux4

Aux is mapped like this: Throttle, Aileron, Elevator, Rudder,Channel5, Channel6, Channel7, Channel8

I had to add a mixer too. Its the screen right after INPUT.

Under channel 6 add Arm as the source from the Input screen that you added before. so this will equate channel 6 to aux 3.

Test in cleanflight :)

After I enter map I get AETR1234
 
What says throttle on the diagram I put into 1 on the receiver. Then A into 2, E into 3 and R into channel 4. Then aux 1 is in channel 5 and so forth.

As long as they map correctly you should be good to go. Is the Aux channels picking up in cleanflight now?

I'm putting the fc wire labeled throttle into channel 1 in the receiver even though its the 3rd wire coming from the board. Is this correct or should I plug the fc wires in order into the receiver making channel 3 throttle?
 
Open the receiver tab and make sure the sticks move the correct function. If some are wrong map it how its needs to be.

For example to map just type map TAER1234, or ATER1234 then hit enter

Okay, yeah everything is moving right in the receiver tab just not getting anything from AUX1. If I go to modes and click add range under Arm I get nothing when I flip my Channel 5 switch.
Maybe I need to use other wire harness labeled with inputs instead of using the receiver harness labeled AUX.?

To save us both the headache I think I'll just order another FC without all these wire harnesses.
